WWWJDIC pronunciation links

[Jim Breen]

Some of you have noticed that the pronunciation clips seemed to have
vanished from the WWWJDIC servers. The "play" icon (usually) no longer
appears.

The reason is that the SSL certificate on the site that provides the
Javascript script for the player has expired, so by default browsers
are not allowing access to the site.

I'm exploring other options for getting a compact play icon onto the
page. In the meantime, if you are desperate to get the icons back, go
to the link below. Your browser will probably give you all sorts of
apocalyptic warnings but if you override them and get to the script
source, you should then be able to use the clips from WWWJDIC.

The links to the sound clips are working again. It seems the SSL
certificate has been renewed.

I was just about to implement an alternative proposed by Charles Kelly
(who helped greatly with the original setup) which works without
relying on an external site. I'll probably go ahead with this anyway.
With luck, no-one will notice any change.
